The news is out! Flatiron Recordings will be releasing a new album by Chris Stamey this June! It's called Modernism.
I had a really fun and creative time working with Chris on the cover and packaging design / layout.
Here's some information about it:

Drum Roll, Please! I got to work on the layout and some of the design work for Prairie Prince's upcoming album "Colours and Passions" which will be released next Friday, March 20, 2026.

After a lifetime behind the drums for some of rock’s most iconic acts, Prairie Prince steps into the spotlight with his debut solo album, “Colours and Passions,” from Label 51 Recordings. The ambitious project—ten years in the making and featuring 50 musicians across 14 tracks—pays homage to spoken word legend Ken Nordine’s landmark 1966 album “Colors.”

The debut solo album by acclaimed drummer Prairie Prince. Described by journalist and author Joel Selvin as the "latest expression" of Prince's "supreme artwork," this deeply personal project involves 10 years, 50 musicians, 20 drums, and 14 tracks.

It is noted to take up where the original record by spoken word legend Ken Nordine left off. Prince weaves together tracks named for different colors, giving them life through drums, percussion, and spoken word.

The album features guest appearances by a number of celebrated musicians, including Todd Rundgren, Buckethead, Jello Biafra, Ross Valory (Journey), Hugh Cornwell, and fellow members of The Tubes: Michael Cotten, Roger Steen, and Rick Anderson.

The 2 LP set comes with a 16 page booklet featuring Prarie's art and lyrics; the CD also includes an extensive 32 page booklet.

INTRO AUDIO: FANFARE

I'm so excited to finally be able to share this with the world! Last Fall, I had the amazing honor to design the LP and CD packaging for BIG SEXY NOISE with Lydia Lunch.

I've been a fan of hers for decades, and I'm super happy with how this turned out. Lydia provided me with the amazing photos and gave me a lot of creative freedom with it.

"The unholy triumvirate of Big Sexy Noise featuring Lydia Lunch, James Johnston (Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Faust) & Ian White (Barry Adamson) of the notorious Gallon Drunk are dead set on proving once more that ROCK is alive and kicking, down and dirty and raunchier than ever!

Lunch helped pioneer no wave in 1977 with the slashing din of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and has remained a caustic presence in the alt-rock firmament ever since. Big Sexy Noise unites her with guitarist James Johnston and drummer Ian White of guttural London greasers Gallon Drunk for the most joyfully b***y music of her career, stripping bare the bluesy brawn of 70’s heavy-rock and inverting its every cock-rock cliche to Lunch’s delight.

White’s limber shuffle injects sinful grace into what could have been Neanderthal sludge, while Johnston stirs up the din of an entire band with his single guitar, hurtling between bone-simple, steamy riffs and blasts of near psychedelic noise.

Big Sexy Noise Live in Italy, a fierce, fearless, tub thumbing, balls to the wall rock monsterpiece."

A huge thanks to Larry and In The Red Records for giving me the opportunity to work on this project and another upcoming one we did for Lydia Lunch.
